Improving technology has made laser hair removal available for practically anyone, regardless of your skin type. If you have light skin with dark unwanted hair, then you are an excellent candidate for laser hair removal. Those with darker skin can still receive hair removal laser treatments. However, it is important to keep in mind that the results are usually slower and that more treatments may be required to achieve the desired effect.
The laser is attracted to pigment in the hair, so lighter colored hair (blonde, red, gray, or white) has a difficult time getting picked up by the laser. In short, the basic requirement is that the hair must be darker than the surrounding skin for successful laser hair removal treatment.
Success with Laser Hair Removal Varies by Practitioner
No matter what you hear, results are not the same across all laser hair removal facilities and vary by practitioner. Training, experience, and the type of laser used factor heavily into the final result. We recommend that you do lots of research before committing to the procedure. Word of mouth is important as well as attending multiple consultations.
